Handle heavy loads on the quayside and within the ship’s hold with the same high-capacity lift truck. A Hyster heavy-duty forklift equipped with a detachable counterweight can be lifted in and out of ships in two parts — making it possible to use a crane that doesn’t have the load capacity to handle the full weight at once.
YOUR APPLICATIONS, HANDLED
BREAKBULK SOLUTIONS
Breakbulk handling is unpredictable. Loads can change month-to-month or even day-to-day. Tight spaces make manoeuvring tough. Awkward shapes and sizes increase the risk of product and equipment damage. It takes rugged yet precise equipment and skilled operators to move breakbulk efficiently without costly setbacks.
STEVEDORING
DOCK AND YARD TRANSPORTATION
ON-SITE STORAGE
Make quick work of transporting varied loads on and off the dock and through your port. With a huge catalogue of specialised attachments and custom engineering capabilities, there’s a way to outfit your Hyster heavy-duty forklift with the right handling tool for whatever breakbulk load winds up on your docket — and to swap it out fast with what the next job needs.
Max out storage and productivity in warehousing space on terminal grounds. Hyster forklifts can be configured for moving breakbulk cargo within your port’s storage facility — whether that means trucks with compact footprints for tight spaces or specialised attachments built to stack high and hold steady without damaging the product.
A PIONEER AMONG PORTS AND TERMINALS
Hyster has pioneered tough lifting equipment since the 1920s, starting in the demanding logging industry of the Pacific Northwest. As one of the first companies to put a spreader on a forklift to pick up a container, Hyster built its reputation on rugged performance. At Hyster, every truck is built to tackle the toughest challenges in the most demanding environments. This trailblazing spirit that drives our solutions for ports and terminals is evident in the case studies below.
